About
This writing workshop blends creativity and fun with the written word. Students will be “all in” on the writing process, often with multiple works-in-progress going such as short stories, personal narratives, poetry, journals, and graphic stories. The writers will hone important skills and gain confidence in their abilities, all while having fun with the process.
By infusing joy in the creative writing process, students become more independent and confident in their writing ability and will find how fun writing can be.
​
Students receive individual attention as the group is limited in size to ensure a low teacher-to-student ratio.
​
The small-group environment of this writing workshop is conductive for learning through the writing process. Student writers of all abilities are celebrated for their self-expression through the written word. Students will develop their writing voices while being guided through the various steps of the writing process.
